Driving into work this morning, I couldn't help but continually peek glances at the Moon because it was so bright and so beautiful. If you saw it too, just know this, tonight's Moon will be even more spectacular.

The Moon tonight has a special name, "Strawberry Moon." The Strawberry Moon was given its name because Native American tribes used it as their signal that it was time to start harvesting ripe strawberries. The Strawberry Moon is exceptionally colorful and will be our last full Moon until July 5 when the Buck Moon will be on full display. The Buck Moon, by the way, signals when the new antlers of buck deer emerge from their foreheads.
